    Is there any 50cc KITS that can do 3D??

    There really is a lot to choose from on the market these days regarding "ARF's". Not a lot of stick builds that I know of. But any of the newer released ARF's should provide many hours of enjoyment. Providing they are not pounded into the dirt on a repetitive basis. Which some just seem to do so...

    3D Performance Aircraft Unlimited 300SP

    Day #2 started where I left off last night. I wanted to get most of the electronics placed and "buttoned" down. I think things are pretty well set now. I will wait until the motor is mounted and the rest of the plane is complete before I place the ignition battery. As it stands, I am pretty...

    IMAC Dietrich 42% Slick rebuild.

    Got my sons DLE 222 from Tower for $1300.00 after coupon savings. For that kind of money, I too will own one. Just not sure what airframe I should get to put it on though. LOL...

    JR XG11 and RG1131B Receiver

    Hey everyone, I am very unfamiliar with the JR radio systems as this will be my first JR setup ever. The menu and commands in the transmitter are a little confusing compared to my Hitec Aurora 9x, but I am sure I will figure it all out. Probably for most or any of you JR owners, it is actually...

    Well, he had to wear "Something" to wipe the glue from his paws didn't he? I could never let him wipe his paws on his "Junior" jacket.

    IMAC Dietrich 42% Slick rebuild.

    Apparently so.... Well, the nice thing about this is that you will be putting down some "GOOD" covering. Looking forward to seeing this one done. (It needs a four cylinder....LOL)

    3D Performance Aircraft Unlimited 300SP

    I have not decided yet. It sure would make it much easier. I was actually a little surprised it was not split considering it is as large as it is.

    IMAC Dietrich 42% Slick rebuild.

    Wow! Bummer. That must be some really "OLD TIRED CHEAP" covering. LOL.... Was worth a shot huh?

    IMAC Dietrich 42% Slick rebuild.

    Hey Rick, mind if I make a suggestion that may help you? I have found that if you heat your covering as you are lifting it off the airframe, it will usually come off with little to no residue. I don't know if you tried that but if you still have your wings, stabs and such to do, you might give...

    And of course I had the "Boss" watching me the whole time to make sure I did it all right....I wouldn't have posted his mug shot except he is definitely RC Airplane related. Pop-Top is his name. Yeah...He likes Jeff too. LOL. More to follow tomorrow.....

    3D Performance Aircraft Unlimited 300SP

    Next I did a little "mock" up and placement of radio equipment. I think this is pretty much how it is going to lay in the fuse. May make many alterations before it is final. Time will tell....

    3D Performance Aircraft Unlimited 300SP

    I got a pretty good start this evening before I called it a night. "Meshed" the rudder and elevator extensions and strung them down the fuse tube. Installed the rudder servos in the back because I really don't like cable and I wanted to be able to keep the balance good without having to add any...

    3D Performance Aircraft Unlimited 300SP

    Next, I bought at the local Wally World a couple of "REALLY" cheap clothes racks for building stands. $6.00 a piece and work awesome. Thanks to Earle (@Pistolera) for this great idea. Shrinking the covering always seems to be so mundane and time consuming but has to be done.

    3D Performance Aircraft Unlimited 300SP

    Ok so here we go. Haven't really done a complete build thread before so bare with me on this. If I get sidetracked, ya'll have the right to "Gibbs" slap me on the back of the head. First, my setup: Power: DLE 111 (V3) Bowman Rings, DA120 Headers, MTW 75 Canisters Falcon CF 28x10 prop, CF...

    93” AJ Airplanes 93” Laser 230z ready to ship!

    I really never liked the Lazer "look". Although I did a complete box build of a "Lanier" for a guy many-many moons ago. It was the 1/3 scale size. But this one by AJ looks like it could possibly win a little favor from me. Anything that flies has appeal to me now. LOL... I wonder if AJ is able...
